How to approach it

The interviewer wants to see whether you can design a frontend feature end to end: the network and request races, caching, UI states, accessibility, security and metrics. It's not enough to "slap on a debounce"; you need to show that you see every bottleneck on the path from a keypress to a suggestion appearing.
